Can you please give sources, how do you know that they are instructed by SAS ? This is very common theory with no backing that I know.

Seems just lazy propaganda. There are multiple videos of ISIS forces using Humvees captured from the Iraqi army[1], so the idea that Humvees = US is silly.

Obviously you didn't watch the video, since when ISIL fighters use Caugar Armored Vehicles? Even Iraqi army didnt have these.

No, but he Iraqi army has plenty of Badger Armored Vehicles which is based on the Cougar and visually quite similar.

I didn't say that. I said the Iraqi Army has plenty of Badgers and it's easy to mistake a Badger for Cougar.

Let's not pretend that RT is any more trustworthy than infowars.

The source of news was Russian department of defence. So it's official.

If you weren't the person who posted the link to RT in the first place I would have laughed at your witty sarcasm.

If ever I thought a reply came from a paid Russian troll, this was it.

(your retort does not make sense and does not seem like it was made by a fluent English speaker)
